Nikko has more than 1,000 years of history and is the home of the Two Shrines and One Temple that have been registered as a World Heritage Site.
The most famous place in the World Heritage Site is the Nikko Toshogu Shrine. The Toshogu Shrine was built to enshrine Ieyasu Tokugawa, who created a long-lasting, stable, and strong government. Craftsmen with outstanding skills even by international standards, including master builders and carpenters, casters, painters, sculptors, stonemasons, etc. pitted their skills against each other to add elaborate features all over the ceilings, walls, and floors, creating an entire building that is a work of art with a high degree of perfection.
The high quality of Japan's distinctive wooden architecture, which contrasts with the brick architecture of the royal courts and palaces, etc. in Western Europe at that time, can be seen everywhere.

Furthermore, right next door to Nikko is Kinugawa, a leading hot spring resort area, which has become a popular hot spring spot with both Japanese and overseas tourists, and attracts many tourists every year.

The direct limited express Nikko and Kinugawa trains are very convenient for accessing these wonderful destinations of Nikko and Kinugawa.

You can reach Nikko and Kinugawa from Shinjuku in approximately two hours and without having to transfer trains. Why don't you travel a little further and see the history of Japan with your own eyes?
